Opinions on the dCS Puccini SACD and Word Clock...

Any experience with this player out there? Looking to pick one up for what appears to be a great price, but I get mixed comments about it, with some saying the Oppo 205 is at least equal to it. What do you guys think about it...

    It's possible whoever said that had major bottlenecks elsewhere in their system, such a Monster Power center and stock power cords.

    We have a couple in the group with the Vivaldi. We have a few bartoks and we have a couple Rossini.

    I have heard the Puccini on a rockport nagra system. It was quite awesome
